Write and analyze with Kimi K3
Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI's flagship: the successor to K2.5, built for deep multi-step work, with a one-million-token context and the ability to read both images and videos connected to the node. It breaks down a composite request, analyse then rewrite then format, and keeps the thread where others drop a step. Its price matches the big Western models, which moves it out of K2.5's budget slot, kept in the catalogue for that reason. Reach for it on long files and methodical workflows, where its steadiness makes the difference.
